Question

When there is thunder and lightning, do you get scared? What do you do?

Answer 1

I love when it thunders but not lightning, i always flinch when it lightnings, but for some reason I cant help looking out the window every now and then to see the lightning cause it is really pretty but very scary ( and deadly),  

Answer 2

Depends. If I am work not much but listen to it. If I am

at home I curl up and take a nap.  

Answer 3

I grab my 2 and 4 year old, turn off all the lights and enjoy the show!!  My 4 yo thinks it's an apatosaurus (aka thunder lizard) somewhere in the neighbourhood ...... she's always a little disappointed that she hasn't actually seen it yet!

Answer 4

I get uneasy if the storm is very close.  I generally go into my bedroom, furthest room away from the larger living room windows,  Pull my feet up on the bed, sit and wait it out.

Years ago, I went Thru a tornado, and was traumatized about it.  Had a phobia about severe storms for many years after that.  Am mostly over all that now.

Answer 5

nope.. but i prefer to stay at home

Answer 6

I LOVE STORMS,  MORE SEVERE THE BETTER!  I USED TO BE A TORNADO CHASER, BEFORE I HAD KIDS.......  WE ALL LOVE STORMS.......  IF DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WE ALL WAKE UP, & GO OUTSIDE & WATCH THE STORMS APPROACHING..........  JUST AWESOME.........  I LOVE THAT SPOOKINESS OF THOSE LOUD CLASPS OF THUNDER & WICKED LIGHTING HITTING WHATEVER IT WANTS TOO.

Answer 7

Never scared, even as a child.  There is nothing like a good summer thunderstorm to clear the air. Personally, unless it gets too severe, I like to sit on the front porch and watch the storm.

Too much wind or a tornado warning though and my butt's in the basement. ;)

Answer 8

Depends, Zelda.

Is it an eaky-freaky, menacing black storm front with towering, rotating anvil clouds, electronic-equipment-frying lightning, tornado-spawning hook-echoes, humongous hail stones and straight-line winds that are gonna send trees and carports into the next county or is it just a lot of noise and show?

I LOVE the noise and show.

I absolutely hate having to dump everything out of the closet under the stairs because there's a tornado in the area and we may have to duck in there, then call my insurance agent because half of my roof got pounded off and ran out my downspouts.

You have to remember, noise and show can't hurt you (I'm assuming you don't go standing out in open fields during a storm), and if it's more than noise and show, you prepare.
